Vi, we are so sorry for your loss. I have known Johnny most of my life, we hung out together as kids, teenagers, and then adults. I worked with him at Knapp Shoe and Maple Alleys. We spent many nights at the alleys bowling and talking the night away about sports, bowling, and girls. As we got older he would come into the store and we would talk about sports, bowling, and cards, some things never changed. We are going to miss him terribly.

Vi, I am so sorry for you loss. He was a great friend, I have known him almost my whole life. I will remember all the good times we had as kids, teenagers, and then adults. We not only grew up together we also worked together at Knapp Shoe and Maple Alleys. We spent many a night there bowling and talking about everything. Even as we got older he would come into the store we would hang out and talk sports. We are going to miss him terribly.

Jimmy & Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. It just doesn't seem right to lose someone so young. We go way back to Knapp Shoe days where we all had a great time and lots of fun. I remember what a great bowler your brother was and that he was on TV a lot. I really hope that you and Diane are well and that life has been good to you. My sincere condolences and you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.

I am so sorry for the loss of John. I knew John when I used to bowl on the east side of Brockton in which I would go quite frequently. John was the nicest person I ever met. My husband was a bowler and used to go here quite frequently long before I met him also. When we met we shared our experience of knowing John (how could we of not?) and both of us knew how great of a person he was. John you are in heaven now. Rest in peace, your friends Mary and Dave
